Evening all,
Just got my new sensation, really happy with it at the mo. Still using the stock ROM, but I'm sure I'll change soon.
I have tried to search but can't find the answer. What I would like to know is can a change the shortcuts at the bottom of the stern ie the app and theme buttons?
Thanks in advance.

Yes but you will need to use an alternate launcher like ADW, Go Launcher, etc. It would replace the Sense launcher so you do lose some Sense functionality.
Thanks,
I thought as much. Really wanted to keep all my sense for now.

Firstly, each to there own, but I'm not a fan of the MIUI rom, I've tried a few builds but its just too much like an iphone layout for me.
However there was one part I really liked & that was the power control functions in the pull down status bar: Wi-Fi, 3G, Vibrate, Silent, Bluetooth etc. like you would get on a widget.
Having them on the status bar was a great idea.
I know certain roms like espresso have it on, but was wondering if anyone knew of an app that can do the same?
I have so far found apps in the market that can do calendar or Wi-Fi, but nothing that can do everything.
Any ideas?

Aah okay, that'll explain why I haven't seen them lol. Thanks
Thanks, but I'm getting tired of flashing new roms now, I'm back on stock at the moment, just thought someone may of known of an app, doesn't even have to be as fancy as MIUI just put an option in the notification bar.
Maybe I'll look at the 4G rom when it's a full stable release...

Im thinking there could be a way to do that using Tasker (since you can do most things with it). Something to set a notification that if you click it can define an event or something of the sort. If you have zero programming knowledge whatsoever then Tasker might be a little difficult for you though.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who hates the iphoney icons...I tried a couple things, but even using bettercut, the launcher still boxes in the icons, which is a pain for apps with long titles.
I'm in bed now(wife's orders), so I'm going to look in the morning, but has anyone else tried looking?
I posted a MOD in this forum that is the stock Android 2.2 Launcher. It works great in my opinion.
ADW Launcher , on another note, I think the bubble around the icons are built into the code for the app. I don't know how HTC did it so it's very likely that I'm wrong.

luncher 2? and we should be able to get that to stick now
i just want the bubbles around the icons gone, everything else im fine with. Is there any way to access the myfavs thing? I probably would just switch to launcher pro if i could do that
Either ADW or LP will let you set the buttons to the left and right of the app drawer button to whatever you want. Just set one of them to the "Faves" app and the other to "Phone" and you'll have the same functionality again.
I personally don't mind the boxes around the icons as much but I hate the espresso rectangular launcher, it's so plain and ugly. I want the traditional launcher and no myfaves crap.
I dont mind the icons, but I had that the lower right key is for Favs. I dont use Favs. If I could change that I would be golden. I use and love all the Sense widgets so I dont want an alternative launcher.
I have to get a few things done for work, but as soon as I finish I'm going to pull the launcher (rosie.apk?) and poke around. It's not just a graphic file because it cuts off text if it's too long. This is probably going to take a while, but I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end.
I paid for launcher pro because I used it on my nexus and g2, but the htc widgets are very well made, and I'd like to use them. It's just painful looking at these icons.

I'd be able to make a metamorph in about a minute to change that for you. All you need to do is substitute a transparent PNG for that icon background.

Yes and no, in the stock launcher, icon text wraps to the next line. In rosie, this is not true. It just gets cut off. You can make the png transparent, but there's a very good chance it's going to get cut off still. I found some xml files in rosie.apk but didn't have enough time to look at them. I'll explore a little more once my kids go to bed.

I love ADW on my G1, but after putting it on the MT4G, I've noticed that it doesn't run all the widgets... is that because they are sense widgets?

That's correct. HTC widgets require the htc framework.
Is there a way to change what the myfavs button to the right does?

Most likely, yes. Root was JUST achieved though, so it's going to be a little bit before this stuff starts happening. Next week will be a busy week in these forums for sure....

Check out the hero section they have a mod to change the far right button so maybe following that example something can be done to this!

So I found some files of interest while rooting around this morning. In rosie.apk, there are 6 files of interest, the icon borders at rest, selected, and pressed, icon background at rest and selected, and the icon backgrounds at rest, selected, and pressed.
common_inputfield_press.9.png
common_inputfield_rest.9.png
common_inputfield_selected.9.png
common_panel_navbar_button_press.9.png
common_panel_navbar_button_rest.9.png
common_panel_navbar_button_selected.9.png
I made them transparent and used the sdk to change them back to .9 files, but for some reason I don't have r/w access to /system/app/. I'll have to look that up.
So, currently I have the (I think..) AOSP lockscreen. It looks nice and all, but I find myself missing the ability to be able to open my text messages directly from the lock screen. I found it extremely useful... I could go back to the default Froyo lockscreen, which of course has the functionality I would like, but I was wondering if there are any others around with the functionality I want, but with a... cooler? look? =]

Not quite what I was looking for, but oh well, Thanks anyway.
you would have to edit xmls in framework and add pngs to get what your looking for. widget locker etc are good but dont communicate with our ticker well

Sorry, I thought you were asking how to get back to the stock lockscreen. I guess I didn't read the OP right.
I've been on a Galaxy S with miui for some time before switching back (the Hero days ^^) to Htc.
Didn't previous sense versions 3.0 & 3.5 have dropdown toggles as seen in Miui and samsung roms?
I've searched, but found no setting to enable anything, and I miss them (the included settings widgets are just horrid). The settings button is great and all, but it still takes a bit of "diving" to find the setting I want to change.
In fact doesn't even AOSP feature toggles? or is it a cyanogen hack in ICS as well?
Some of the sense roms are starting to implement the quick settings in the notification panel at the minute, give it a wee bit of time to catch on.
Rock On!
I'm using notification toggle and it's working out quite well for me. Give it a shot until the ROMs catch up

With root thats actually all i need.
Now where is the "Solved" button on this thread?
There's also Widgetsoid if anyone's looking for an alternative.
Another vote for Notifcation Toggle. I'm able to add in shortcuts to Camera etc - apps that I want quick/easy access to.

Yup. Used this for a while on my Desire while I was waiting for Switchpro to catch up to GB

I downloaded it via this recommendation and I love it. You can customize the widget icons a little as well as their color (both active and inactive color) Mine looks like this (wifi, gps, vibrate, brightness, torch). Exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks for the app recommendation I have been looking for something like this.
Hi all,
I tried searching the forums and google on this but couldn't find an answer.
I've included a picture just to give you guys a visual. (Guess I can't show you since I'm a noob)
It's the dot(s) that is an indicator when you have 1 or more home screens.
My question is - is there a way to remove the dot(s)/indicator? By way of an app or custom ROM?
Thanks in advance!

If I understand what you are saying a custom launcher like apex or nova should take care of it. They will have a bar, but you can hide it.

Those will work on the stock rom, but not the stock launcher. I guess I should mention you may not be able to use touchwiz widgets with them. But to keep your launcher and rom but remove those would involve code manipulation. I'm not saying no one has done it, but I haven't stumbled upon that type of tweak.
